Sony, during their GDC 2010 conference, have revealed that their upcoming motion wand controller is now officially named "PlayStation Move."
Prices for the Move start at about $100 (USD) for a PlayStation Move starter kit. Included in the kit will be the controller, the PlayStation Eye camera, and a game yet to be disclosed. Also shown off during the event was a PlayStation Move Sub-controller, a nunchuck like device that features an analog stick.
Here is a brief run-down of a few of the games demonstrated during Sony's event today.

Here is a brief run-down of a few of the games demonstrated during Sony's event today.
Among the demonstrated titles was a mini-game compilation called "Sports Champion," which includes a gladiator game where players dual-wield two PlayStation Moves--one representing their shield, the other their swords--and table-tennis.
Another game, "Move Party," combined the PlayStation Eye's video feed with the PlayStation Move to actually players and their surrounding environment into the game. For example, a mini-game in which players must smash the virtual bugs in their real-life playing area. Other "Move Party" mini-games shown during the event included shape-tracing, hair cutting, and one where players bounce falling baby chicks into a nest.
A Move-enhanced version of LittleBigPlanet was shown, with one player using the Move to manipulate environmental objects--removing obstacles, placing and moving objects to assist jumps--while the other controlled LBP's Sackboy with a regular controller.
Another on-stage demonstration showed a fighting game, "Motion Fighters," in which players dual-wield two Moves to punch, put opponents in headlocks, and so forth.
